President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

This is why they lose. They have no fucking balls.

 

That's a dumb post. Why do you think a photog or reporter would demand an apology, of any kind, in that situation?

The photog and the reporter are there to do their jobs. It's asinine to assign them fake roles and then mock them for the fake roles you assign them.

Please explain your thought process on this. Your post is an insult to the hard-working journalists who are all around you every day.

 

Well written. I give Comey credit for having self-awareness.

But wait, the conspiracy idea gets dumber. On Oct. 28, after agonizing deliberation over two terrible options, I concluded I had no choice but to inform Congress that we had reopened the Clinton email investigation. I judged that hiding that fact — after having told Congress repeatedly and under oath that the case was finished — would be worse than telling Congress the truth. It was a decision William Barr praised and Hillary Clinton blamed for her loss 11 days later. Strzok, alleged architect of the treasonous plot to stop Trump, drafted the letter I sent Congress.

 

Third time's a charm?

 

I'm shocked, etc.

On Wednesday, the National Center for Education Statistics released new data showing a 50-percentage-point gap—that’s right, 50 percentage points—in college-going rates between students who come from the highest-earning families and the lowest earning.

The Education Scandal That's Bigger Than Varsity Blues

 

It’s kind of a strange headline because the story includes this passage:

“That said, over time, the trajectory for higher education is that it is becoming more inclusive, and more lower-income students are attending than in the past. The Pew Research Center released a new analysis on Wednesday showing that the number of low-income students has increased “dramatically” over the two decades from 1996 to 2016, and now makes up nearly a third of the overall student population. The bulk of the growth occurred at two-year colleges and private for-profit institutions, but there was also significant growth at less selective bachelors-degree-granting colleges. Similarly, the share of racial minorities increased across all sectors of higher education, but, again, the increases were most prominent at less selective bachelors-degree-granting institutions and two-year colleges. This is due, in no small part, to efforts from universities—especially regional, open-access institutions—to recruit low-income and minority students. The highly selective institutions continue to draw the majority of their students from middle- and high-income families, the report said.“

 

nothing...?

 

N0t sure that "increased dramatically" and "a fifty-percentage-point gap" are mutually exclusive.

 

To be honest, not very well thought out, but my thinking was this:

1) Lincoln Memorial MAGA incident
2) narrative.

Since you pointed it out, I went back and dug further, saw she’s covering the Japan trip, and with WSJ.

Mea culpa on that.

I would expect others to see that and call for heads to roll though. And that’s their narrative, not that of the reporter.

Patches and other things (challenge coins, etc.) are used as morale boosters all of the time.

I hope there’s no backlash over that - which was where I was coming from.

Thanks for the opportunity to reconsider, revise and extend my remarks.
